Jaguar’s aluminium vehicles focus has given life to a light, stiff body structure developed from JLR’s new modular vehicle architecture. Advanced monocoque chassis tech delivers finer balance of agility and refinement that is seen in segments above.

Jaguar XE S’ stance takes precedence with large front air intakes, chrome side vents, discreet rear spoiler and optional 20-inch forged alloy wheels, all pointing to its performance potential. XE variants will be powered by highly 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines mated to six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions. The all-new Ingenium engine diesel’s fuel consumption is most efficient at 75mpg so it can go 21,000 miles or two years between services. Key components are designed to be easily accessible to minimise scheduled maintenance, and repair costs.

Manufactured at JLR’s Solihull plant in an all-new purpose-built facility as part of a £1.5bn investment, production create 1,700 UK jobs. Jaguar Land Rover is working to meet its 25% reduction in fleet average tailpipe CO2 emissions, and the all new and affordable XE is key. Energy consumption due to riveting and bonding XE’s lightweight body structure is less than spot welding. Recycled aluminium, especially RC 5754 grade results in reduced demand for primary aluminium. Use of 46kg of recycled plastics and renewable materials further reduces XE’s environmental impact.
